#
# 1. I get the following error when somebody tried to

#
# MAJORDOMO ABORT
# Can't append to /usr/local/majordomo/LISTS/shrlist: Interrupted system
# call
#
# Any ideas on this. Infact this is working NOW again fine without any
# changes what so ever to majordomo. This leads me to think,
# that there could have been some of the following problems,
#
# a. Since this list was new and opened to everybody, suddenly
# there were lots of users trying to subscribe. After allowing some of the them
# to
# subscribe, majordomo failed on some concurrent processing ( I think the locking
# failed for some reason, IF I am right). There were atleast 50 users rejected
# with
# this problem and I got 50+ mails from majordomo complaining the problem.
This is what happens when Majordomo eventually gives up after 10
minutes of trying once per second to get a lock on a file
(/usr/local/majordomo/LISTS/shrlist in the example given above). This
could be because Majordomo doesn't have write permissions for the
directory the file is in, or it could be because the file really was
locked for 10 minutes by other Majordomo processes.

# 2. This is a question which is totally unrelated to the above one,
# Is it possible in majordomo 1.62 to reject mail from other domains. This will
# help because the lists can be maintained with security and some of the users
# will not have concerns about it. I keep hearing about "munge domain" , I
# believe
# this is the feature in majordomo1.93. I am not clear on what it is. Can
# somebody
# explain me about this.
munge_domain is a feature of 1.9x that tells Majordomo to treat
addresses "user@bar.com" and "user@foo.bar.com" as identical (without
munge_domain, and in all versions prior to 1.9x, Majordomo views those
as different addresses).
